You can use whatever mushrooms your heart desires for this stroganoff recipe! I personally really enjoy trying new mushroom varieties. The mushroom varieties readily available in most grocery stores are all low carb and substitute very well in this recipe.

It’s not necessary. There’s a lot of debate as to whether mushrooms should be washed before cooking them. You probably won’t notice a huge difference whether you wash them or not, but many say that the water soaks into the spongy mushrooms, preventing other yummy flavors from being absorbed instead, and making them soggy.

So if you want to keep that from happening, how do you clean mushrooms instead? Cleaning mushrooms without water is very easy, but a little more time-consuming. You simply wipe them off gently with a clean dry cloth. Again, this is not necessary, but I’d love to know whether you think washing or wiping with a dry cloth is better!

Yes! The dried forms of herbs tend to be more potent, so if you’re using dried sage and rosemary, you will want to reduce the amount from 1 tablespoon each, to 1 teaspoon in these creamy keto stroganoff mushrooms.

My answer to this question is a little tongue-in-cheek. You certainly can leave out the sour cream, but why in the world would you want to do such a thing! The sour cream is what gives this dish a bodied, rich, and tangy taste that we all love in stroganoff.
